That&#39;s so true. I once worried about my daughter going out of state to college, but then she decided to attend a college near home. My worry was all for nothing.

I like how you said that worry is not &quot;productive.&quot; In my times of worry and anxiety I always remember Matthew 6: &quot;Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don&#39;t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.&quot; That passage always eases my fears and brings comfort. Because, as you said, there&#39;s always *something* to worry about!

But prayer? Prayer changes things. It changes my attitude. My thoughts. And yes, it changes things eternally. Praying for you today!Beth K.

Thanks for validating that, Beth. I thought I was the only one! You&#39;re absolutely right when you say that you can&#39;t worry and pray at the same time. If only we would remember that.Ellen Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474986203062305511noreply@blogger.com
